Even if it was installed with your permission, trusting this hijacker is exceptionally dangerous, and we do not want you putting your virtual security on the line.

According to our research, Totopweb.com was created by the same company who is responsible for such infamous hijackers as Top8844.com, Gamegogle.com, and Jogostempo.com. These hijackers were extremely popular a few years back, but the company might be planning a comeback with the newest addition. Did you notice that it is not supported by legal information? This is because its creator is hiding, and because something might be hidden from you. You should NEVER trust programs that are not supported by a Privacy Policy, a License Agreement, and other important documents. Why is that so? Well, the reason is very simple. These documents reveal how a program or service operates, and if you cannot check this information, you cannot know for sure if you are safe using it. For example, you do not know if it is okay for you to interact with the banners and pop-up advertisements that might show up from the home page of Totopweb.com, and that is because you do not have any information about the creator’s partnerships with third-party advertisers.

As you might have noticed already, Totopweb.com redirects your search requests to Google Search. The good news is that the search results are unlikely to be modified by the hijacker, which is usually the case when other hijackers exploit well-known search engines. Also, the quick-access links to Facebook, Yahoo, YouTube, Twitter, and other popular sites are legitimate. Of course, you have to be cautious about unfamiliar websites, such as those representing unfamiliar games and services. If you are not careful, you might end up visiting websites that are flooded with fake offers, surveys, and ads. Also, you could be routed to malicious websites promoting malware scanners. You need more reasons to delete Totopweb.com from your web browsers? How about virtual tracking? It is very possible that tracking cookies, beacons, pixels, and other kinds of data-trackers could have been employed to record information about you. In the worst case scenario, personally-identifiable information could be recorded, and we are sure you do not want that.

If you understand how unpredictable Totopweb.com is, you will remove this browser hijacker from the infected browsers immediately. Before you jump to that, please scan your operating system, and we advise using a legitimate malware scanner for this task. This is important to do in case more dangerous threats are active on your PC. The browser hijacker is most likely to slither in via a software bundle, which suggests that other threats could be active on your operating system right now. It will not take long to inspect your PC, and you might have to save your virtual security from much greater dangers. What should you do if multiple infections are found? You might choose to erase these threats manually after you delete Totopweb.com, but we recommend employing anti-malware software instead to have all infections eliminated automatically at the same time. If you manage to clean your PC and browsers yourself, do not forget to invest in a reliable security system to prevent malware from attacking your operating system in the future.
